![]() Falling Through GlassA Poem by Cassidy Mask
I’m falling through glass And I’m drowning in shards Sharp as ice Cold as blades Blood on my hands I’m seeing stars Not because I’ve hit my head But because the stars are out Holes in Heaven Balls of Burning Gas Bright and white Against a sticky tar sky A kite bobs its head above me A night flyer Yellow It floats dreamily It too seems to stick to the tar Refusing to come back down I lie back against the soft sharpness My cheek against cool tarmac And I watch the tar fade Into the cool blue ice Of day break. And now I’m slipping Time goes on
But I don't.
